Testimonials

“I loved hearing directly from the different people who were directly involved in the startups, hearing their stories and triumphs. I found the whole day to be really interesting - it was a really great, unique perspective on Israel I wouldn't have been able to see otherwise.”

Arielle - New York

"I wasn't really interested in startups, however, Bizrael has sparked interest and the desire to learn more. Bizrael was one of my favorite components of my internship in Israel"

Elizabeth - Canada

"Bizrael essentially was the catalyst for the career path and goals I have today. Inspired, invigorated, and empowered from seeing the Israeli startup, VC, and hi-tech scene, I became determined to pursue the dream of being a part of all the action."

Ariel Sterman - Bizrael Elite Alumni & current VC in NY

“Getting submerged in the Israeli startup scene and exploring all the different problems they are solving creatively truly inspired me as a person and an entrepreneur. The skills and traits I picked up from such a short trip will surely help me in the long run."

Bar Bruhis - Univeristy of Texas

"What Bizrael taught me about Israel absolutely blew my mind. It showed me how my home country, one that was established under 7 decades ago, has become one of the most advanced countries in the world in technology and entrepreneurship."

Avi Cabessa - Brooklyn College

"The Bizrael trip exposed us to another side of Israel- an Israel that is changing the world one innovation at a time. We met and engaged with individuals, companies and ideas that drive the Start-Up Nation."
